I LUV PEANUT BUTTER (any healthy recipes?)

hokagenoob

Any pb recipes that include just pb and oats and other ingredients? I can't eat bread so

I like PB on rice cakes.... Or protein pancakes... Or in chocolate (you can make your own PB cups), or on yoghurt with fruit and granola. I have made cookies with PB but found them kind of dry.

You could make bread with oat flour? Or a grain free/gluten free alternative? You can also make bread with nut butter - it's very calorie dense though

I'll occasionally have oats, PB and a banana for breakfast, especially on a high-activity day. PB is great ... just make sure you measure your servings as the calories can add up.

Peanut butter, spoon, job done!

I contemplated doing that with cookie dough/choc spread this morning - we don't get it normally in aus but found it in a specialist US food store. Dangerously good!

Have you ever tried the powdered peanutbutter? Much lower in calories and fat, I use it in shakes, smothies, and just add water for peanutbutter. I buy the PB2 brand...You can add this to anything. Here's one I always make:

PB2 Bites with Coconut & Chocolate

Serves 8 / Makes 24
Ingredients
2/3 cup PB2 (reconstituted with 1/3 cup water)
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/3 cup ground flaxseed
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3 Tbsp. agave nectar
1 Tbsp. chia seeds

Have you tried savory peanut butter dishes? Google satay sauce and gado gado.

For meals that are savory and use peanut butter, I add defatted peanut flour instead.

Try a Google search along these lines:
oatmeal peanut butter muffins -flour

putting the "minus sign" in front of a word tells Google you don't want to see anything with that word.

Here's a savory peanut butter recipe: groundnut stew, aka
West African chicken & peanut-butter stew

Servings: 8 (this is just a guess; but it's a whole chicken and a buncha veg, after all.)

6 1/2 lb whole chicken, skinned and defatted. (Lot o' Chicken package works)
2 Tbs olive oil
1/2 tsp black pepper, fresh ground
1 sweet potato, peeled & chopped
1 med onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
28 oz canned tomatoes, no salt added, whole
15 oz canned corn no salt added, sweet yellow, draind
15 oz garbanzo beans, canned, drained
1/4 cup peanut butter, crunchy OK
1/2 tsp ginger, grated
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 tsp cayenne
2 turnips, peeled & chopped
1/2 rutabaga, peeled & chopped
2 cups carrots, sliced

1. Save liquid from tomatoes & corn. Sqush the tomatoes down in the can to drain thoroughly. I sliced the veg fairly thin, and cut the larger ones into about 6-8 pieces per slice. In 8-qt Dutch oven, brown chicken (batched, if necessary) in 1 Tb oil with black pepper, turning often. Remove and set aside.

2. In remaining oil, saute sweet potato, onion & garlic until onion is limp. Add chicken, cook to combine flavors, turning often, about 4 mins. Add other veg. Crush tomatoes in medium bowl (I used the immersion blender, in the original 28-oz can). Add cayenne, ginger, peanut butter; mix until smooth. (If PB not refrigerated, it mixes fine; if it is, may need to 'wave it briefly).

3. Add tomato mixture, remaining ingredients, and enough reserved liquid to almost cover chicken. Heat to boiling, reduce heat, simmer until chicken is tender. Depending on chicken, may be 30 minutes to an hour.

4. Serve over rice or couscous.

by Bill McCranor 75573,617. The original had great Northern beans, but Bill noted that garbanzos are more authentically African, and they were fine. McCranor notes that the dish makes a lot of liquid on its own, and not to add the reserved liquid unless you really think you need it. The beans thickened it nicely. Might add another can of beans, after the first 30 minutes or so. The last three root vegs were my own addition. They worked.

I have oat pancakes with peanut butter, a whole banana in the middle. Wrap it up and slice into bitesize bits and sprinkle with cinnamon, I have it almost everyday for breakfast with a protein smoothie

We have a peanut chicken recipe which I could share with you later if you're interested. Actually I have two...

One is, you make chicken skewers than a chicken satay. The chicken satay has sweet chili sauce, crunchy peanut butter and coconut milk, which you leave on the element until it simmers. You then pour the sauce over the chicken skewers or dip it in.

The other is this peanut sauce mixed with chicken. I'm not sure how its made but I have it at least once a month. Its served with rice, lemon/olive oil/salt/cabbage salad, banana/coconut/lemon, sweet corn and sometimes tomato/red onion/cucumber/balsamic dressing. Raiata (greek yoghurt with stuff like cucumber) is nice with it as well.

The second meal is so delicious omg! Its loaded with calories but also with yum. I would have eaten it at least 10x last year, and I don't exactly have small portions and I still lost weight, so you could probably have it occassionally as a cheat meal. Let me know if you are interested in the recipe. I nearly have dreams about this meal, its that good! if I know I'm having it that night, I often eat less during the day because other food becomes less interesting.
